ALEXIS DESOLNEUX – COALESCE from HERESY BMX on Vimeo.
I often have wondered what would happen in the modern day if a technical flatlander brought hard flatland tricks and their creative mind to riding street, and Alexis Desolneux gives a taste of what is possible. Opposite backwards facing whiplashes anyone, lucky-e grind to x-x-ft whiplash out, I really enjoyed this one. Sit down with a cuppa and an open mind and enjoy this one, then go ride and do what you like.
This line is absolutely ridiculous, from start to finish theres no let up in the hammers. The x-fted steam kick flip to crack will obviously get a lot of attention and it’s great to see Dom bring this back, but the x-ft Karl step down to pedal then nose wheelie. Wow!

On the 2nd June was held the Flat & Wind Contest in Zaragoza. Actually it was the 25th anniversary from the very first Bmx Contest in this City. Zaragoza is probably the most Hip-hop culture influenced city in Spain, and Bmx has some connection with it. The contest was organized by Alejandro Encinas a.k.a. Neuma.
The day before the contest we did a Jam at the spot in wich a lot of riders showed up!
The day of the contest was great. Around 30 riders from 7 different countries came to ride and have fun. There were Amateur and Pro Class. In both 8 riders made it to the finals.
We started of with the amateur Class. Pino, from Costa Rica, now living in Barcelona, killed it with crazy smooth style and took the victory on the Amateur Class. Followed by Sergio Romo and Istom Rojas.
Pro Class had battle format in the finals which gave a lot of intensity to the contest! Miguel Tardío took the victory with great technique and style against Iñigo Arroyo who showed up with crazy hard new tricks!
It was an amazing weekend and we can not wait for next year. We invite everyone to come for a family and hip-hop vibe contest! Thanks so much for this Neuma!

I’m back updating the site after almost a week off with a broken hard drive, so updates will appear much quicker as per usual.
Dustyn Alt warmed up for the BMX Cologne this weekend with a win at the Urban Culture Games contest in Czech Republic followed by Wolfgang Sauter, and Michal Kupec in the third place podium spot. Congratulations to Dustin, Wolfgang and Michal!
A few months ago, Matti Hemmings was diagnosed with a ruptured disc in his back. A career threatening injury, I caught up with Matti to discuss the injury, his lifestyle, recovery, what he’s learnt from the incident, going private with operation and a whole lot more! This is a little more indepth than the usual podcast, so you definitely don’t want to miss this!
Barre Neirynck is organising an International flatland contest at the Urban Waves weekend in Kortrijk, Belgium the week after the BMX Cologne contest. Scott O’ Brien on the mic duties, and heavy field of riders already confirmed! I’ll be judging this event, see you there!
Go watch this new edit from 9 year old shredder, Takuo Moriya out of Japan. The tea kettle line at 00:41 is absolutely amazing, so fluid!
It’s a good day when Nick Watts drops another garage edit from his most recent session, flow and style for days. The internet sometimes is a wonderful thing, many of us would never have seen this guy ride but for the interwebs. Well worth watching!
Congratulations to Toon Pakphum taking the top spot in the 2018 Master of Creativity Round 1 competition followed by Alex Jumelin, Sietse van Berkel, Moto Sasaki and James White! The top 25 make it through to the next round, plenty of great entries. Get your thinking caps on for the next round!
